when compiling in fedora 20, it breaks with:

Would you mind compiling the Windows branch for testing purposes once? It does not rely on Glib.Notification.

[Manuel-Kehl]

@guoyu07 would you please try again? The latest pull request from @fredmwangi replaced Glib.Notification with libnotify, thus it may successfully compile without GNotification now.

You may have to install the libnotify package of course.

Can you confirm, that it works now?

Hello, I just tried to compile on Fedora 22 64bit and it fails at the cmake:

...
-- Found PkgConfig: /usr/bin/pkg-config (found version "0.28") 
-- checking for modules 'gtk+-3.0;glib-2.0;libnotify'
--   package 'libnotify' not found
CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake/Modules/FindPkgConfig.cmake:340 (message):
  A required package was not found
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  /usr/share/cmake/Modules/FindPkgConfig.cmake:502 (_pkg_check_modules_internal)
  CMakeLists.txt:18 (pkg_check_modules)

-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!
See also "$HOME/repos/Go-For-It/build/CMakeFiles/CMakeOutput.log".

The package libnotify was already installed:

Package libnotify-0.7.6-6.fc22.x86_64 is already installed, skipping.

I do not know how to make it work, but I am willing to learn.

@mashimom do you have the development headers for libnotify installed? If the headers are installed, please tell me if valac complains about libnotify when trying to compile something like this:

valac --pkg libnotify some-file.vala

[fredmwangi]

@mashimom On Ubuntu there is a package named: libnotify-dev This package contains development files required to compile/build an Application that uses libnotify.

[fredmwangi]

@mashimom @guoyu07 @mank319 You need the equivalent development files for your Fedora system. The package is named: libnotify-devel

Here's a link with information about the Fedora package: https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/libnotify-devel

Closing this as this issue has not had any responses for months.
